Something I was just thinking about, and you had to watch the broadcast, they spent an inordinate amount of time focused on David Sanders coming into the game and even his first few snaps on offense. How often do you see any OL get that sort of attention on a national broadcast? I just thought that was interesting. It's free advertisement for Glen Elarbee and Tennessee.

Hey, do y'all figure Nick Saban has to sit on a phone book to look as tall as everyone else on the game day set?

Dude… he is tweaked out on something. I’ve seen that before and it’s not healthy

Yeah. He is snorting coke on the sideline and it’s legal in Oregon. Where do you guys live? A basement in mom’s house? Get off the internet for a bit.

I hope after the bye week we finally unleash Boo and stop with the punishment. We need him full time at punt returner and starting at star. That hit he laid in the second quarter was a monster. If you really want McMurray on the field, then move boo to safety. But he is one of your best DBs and needs to be on the field.

Saw a few times yesterday where Boo was awful in run D. Would basically take himself out of the play and created huge lanes. Not that anyone was really good defending the run yesterday.

Texas A&M, Missouri, and Ole Miss schedules are crap. We need them to all end up with two losses or more. Strength of schedule will help us get in over them.

They aren't blowing out Vandy.

They will. They didnt respect Vandy last year. This year coming off a big win and wanting revenge. It won't be close.

Didn’t move which means we were jumped by teams.

I think it’s hard for a young man to keep his head on straight when his coaches are saying ok you can field now or you can’t field punts now. Ok you can play this series but you’re sitting three, no you can play one. No rhythm and messes with you. Like I said, end the crap as he is on the team and give him all the first reps. I bet you see a different player after the bye week then.

Tennessee remains at #15 in new Coaches Poll.

Alabama up to #11 after beating Georgia and Georgia falls to #10.

LSU down to #13 after losing to Mississippi..

Those people in Oregon are a different breed.

Can 100% vouch for that. Once dated a streamer up in Oregon, moved there for a few months. Definitely a different world up there.

Liking this but also gotta wonder when people will stop talking about Nico. We’re 5 games in. Who gives a sh*t about Nico anymore.

It seems to me to be a sort of defense mechanism towards a perceived slight. Many of these same people excused Nico's poor play while he was here.

Quick thoughts:

1. Our lack of NIL/ recruiting commitment to safties is finally catching up to us. That room is one of the worst in the SEC.
2. Drops have to stop. MM, Staley, MK
3. Joey is a gamer, crazy to think we upgraded at QB
4. Clock management at end of 1H and 2H were abysmal
5. Don’t know why JH teams completely fall apart on the road. We make things incredibly hard on ourselves.

The Good: Dline, Brazzell, Hood, MM bouncing back after the awful drop.

But after 2010-2020 years I’m happy with winning.

Happy Sunday and Go Vols!

I concerned with our lack of commitment to everything related to safties.

Only team that jumped Tennessee in Coaches Poll was Alabama...

I don't like that that game is in Alabama. The reasons are documented. But we will see what happens. Perhaps we'll flip the script.

Wish Spillman or one of the young lbs could unseat Telander/Bolton. We need more athleticism at LB

It's happening. Spillman played more snaps than Telander yesterday.

 

[SagginVawls]

Not if Bama makes it the championship game and wins (which I don’t think either of these two scenarios happens). But if you trust the committee to not screw us at the expense of Bama, then be my guest.

I do

Of course Arkansas fires their coach right before coming to Knoxville. Lovely. We get a rejuvenated Razorback team off the bye…
